je suis en train de me dire, que ce jour là, Jimi aurait mieux fait de casser une jambe, ça lui aurait éviter de rencontrer qui vous savez

RHEINISCHE POST - ‘Jimi’s Guitar Tricks Vanished In The Noise’, ‘The “Hendrix Experience” at the Rheinhalle: deafening of the crowd’ by Uwe Witsch: “Physical impressions dominated the performance of the “Jimi Hendrix Experience” at the Rheinhalle. First, one was squashed by a packed crowd at the entrance and after that the ears were treated to electronic rock sounds. When the show was over, the audience was sitting apathetically in their seats and applauded wearily. The stage wasn’t rushed, and so the security had surprisingly little to do. Jimi Hendrix’s tour of Germany was well prepared. After a successful stay in the USA the abominable musician released an explosive record (Electric Ladyland). The song “All Along The Watchtower” made the charts. Moreover, Hendrix was preceded by his reputation of pulling all the stops during his performances. He holds the record for having smashed 16 guitars on stage in a very short time. Besides, this grandson of [sic] of a Cherokee Indian is considered the “best (Pop) guitar player of the world,” Therefore it is no wonder that even during the second show at the Rheinhalle on Sunday evening there was a large crowd. An Irish band with an exotic name warmed up the audience. When Jimi Hendrix with Noel Redding (bass) and Mitch Mitchell (drums) entered the stage, a hurricane broke loose. In the deafening noise Jimi’s unarticulated singing was barely understandable, and the difference between each separate song was hardly noticeable. It was easier to watch, rather than listen to Jimi work his guitar. When he was concentrating on his playing, eyes closed, a slightly insane expression lay on his dark face. Then the ecstatic sounds were whizzing through the hall, confusing and not quite comprehendable. The floor vibrated, and a light tickle went through your body.”
FOXY PAPER - by Caesar Glebbeek: “There were 5,000 people in the hall, acting enthusiastic, which resulted in a very nice atmosphere (while the audience in Düsseldorf stayed rather reserved); occasionally girls even screamed! Probably encouraged by the energetic crowd, the performance was better than the day before - it certainly was more spontaneous.... Immediately after the end of Purple Haze’ the audience began to shout for an encore, but this did not materialise as a one-hour JHE show [to 22:25] is just that - not a minute longer than contractually stipulated. So this was the end of two very exciting days.”

Pour les complétistes, une version inédite de "Voodoo Child (SR)" (le début de la vidéo relate comment celle-ci a vu le jour). Peut-être un jour disposerons-nous de l'intégralité de ce concert, avec une qualité audio substantiellement supérieure ?
